.PORTABLE LIQUID PUMP FOR OIL CONTAINERS.

Application filed May 2, 1922. Serial No. 557,869.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDGAR A. BmNnNs'rox, a citizen of the United States,and resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State oflVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPortable Liquid Pumps for Oil Containers; and

I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof.

This invention pertains to liquid pumps and hasprimarily for its objectto provide a,

portable pump adaptedfor use in extracting liquid from the originalcontainer in which it is shipped, T

A more specific object resides in the provision of a conventional liquidpump mounted upon a portable truck and provided with means for operablyconnecting the pump with a container, and additional means forpreventing relative movement between the pump and container. 7 With theforegoing and other objects in view, the invention consists incertainpeculiarities of construction and combination of parts as arehereinafter set forth in the accompanying drawings and subsequentlyclaimed.

In the drawings,

Figure 1 is a frontview in elevation, illustrating one mode of carryingout the invention.

Figure 2 is an elevational side view with parts broken away and insection.

Figure 3 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is. a detailed sectional view taken on the line 44 of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is an enlarged detailed View in section showing the connectionbetween the container and pump, and Figure 6 is a plan View of the same.

Referring more particularly to the accompanying drawings, the presentinvention consists in the provision of a portable truck T comprising apair of angle iron side frames 7 one end of which is supported on theaxle 8, which carries the wheels 9, while the other end of the frame 7terminates in downwardly projecting legs 10, which serve to support theapparatus carried on the frame, in a vertical position, and in additionthereto, straddle the end of the container to prevent its lateralmovement with relation to the truck.

Extending upwardly from the side frames 7 are a pair of supportingstandards 11, that-v carry the table 12, on which is mounted thecylinder, providedwith an intake pipe 141, communicating with the sameat: its lower end, and extending upwardly .to a point where it isconnected to the lateral extension 15, by means of the elbow 16.Extending above the table 12 and supported thereby, is a conventionalpump actuating mechanism pump mechanismv consisting of a pump M whichforms no specific part of the present invention, inasmuch as theinvention is applicable to any type of pump structure.

As set forth in the-preceding objects, the

present invention is particularly designed for use in connection withthe original containers in which the liquid is shipped, which containeris designated'in the drawings as 17, and while I have illustrated thesame as being cylindrical or barrel shaped, it is obvious that theinvention would work equally as well with any shaped container.

For the purpose of operably connecting the pump with the container, Iprovide a vertical suction pipe 18 adapted to be in serted into thecontainer to a point adjacent its bottom, and held in place by means ofa cap 19 threaded therein. The upper end of the pipe 18 is provided witha lateral extension 18, which is connected to the extension 15, by meansof a union or coupling 20.

In order to vent the container as liquid is drawn therefrom, the cap 19is provided with a vent opening 19' and a plug 21 threaded in the capand provided with a ball check 22 yieldably held on its seat by a coilspring 23.

As illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings, the side frames 7have pivotally connected thereto, a pair of arms 24, which are swung inunder the container after the same is properly positioned with relationto the truck and pump. These arms serve as an additional bracing orsupport to prevent relative movement between the container and thetruck, and thereby eliminate possible strain upon the connectionsbetween the con tainer and the pump.

From the foregoing description, it is obvious that a very simpleportable structure has been provided for garages and the like, wherebyoil contained in barrels or other shipping containers may be readilydrawn off and measured in the manner similar to that employed inconnection with stationary supply tanks, and due to the portability ofthe device, the same may be readily transferred to any convenientlocation.

Attention is further directed to the fact that the device is applicableto various sizes of containers, the arms 27, which serve to block orchuck the container against movement, being adjustably secured to thetruck frame. Also in instances where it may be desiredto transport theentire apparatus, in-

' cluding the container, the same is readily accomplished by lifting upthe container and tilting the pump mechanism to a pointwhere it servesas a truck.

While I have shown and described a single embodiment ofthe invention,which is the most practical form so far devised, it will be understoodthat various modifications and changes in the structural details arecontemplated as come within the terms of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A portable pump for cylindrical containers comprising a portableframe, adjustable members carried by the frame for preventing relativemovement of the container, a pump mechanism carried on the frame, andmeans for operably connecting the pump with the container.

2. A portable pump for cylindrical containers comprising a portableframe, adjust able means carried by the frame for preventing relativemovement of the container, a pump carried on the frame and provided withan intake pipe, a suction pipe adapted to be inserted into thecontainer, and means for detachably connecting the suction pipe with theintake pipe.

3. A portable pump for cylindrical containers comprising a frame, armspivoted to the frame for preventing relative movement of the containerwith relation to the frame,

-a um carried on said frame asuction i e adapted to be inserted intosaid tank, and means for detachably connecting said suction pipe withthe pump.

' In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand atMilwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin.
